Procedure
  1. Press the sub power button.
  2. Open the front cover.
  3. Affix single-color masking tape to the positions shown in the figure on the flat table.
    MEMO We recommend white masking tape to reduce printing time for alignment markers.
    • The affixing area (A) should be at least 12 mm (0.47 in.) from the white line (BD-8) or the guide line (BD-12).

    • If the white line (BD-8) or the guide line (BD-12) is still visible, apply the tape over the line until it is no longer visible or use non-transparent tape.

      It may not be possible to read the alignment markers if the line is visible.
